Effective cybersecurity begins with knowing what you’re defending. Organizations investing heavily in security tools often miss something fundamental: a comprehensive understanding of their own environment. This critical gap creates significant risk exposure that sophisticated attackers readily exploit. This article explores cyber terrain mapping; its importance, technical requirements, and how Fidelis Elevate addresses this essential security challenge.

Lateral movement plays a crucial role in the attack chain. Cybercriminals guide themselves through networks after they breach the first point of entry. This technique helps threat actors reach further into systems and locate valuable assets. They can accomplish their goals without triggering the usual security alerts.

In today’s digital battlefield, attackers aren’t just breaking in—they’re sneaking past defenses, staying hidden, and making off with sensitive data long before anyone notices. While organizations invest in firewalls, antivirus tools, and endpoint protection, attackers are becoming smarter, faster, and harder to detect. We need detection that’s not only quick but also intelligent and proactive.

As cyber threats grow more advanced and persistent, traditional reactive defences are no longer enough. Today’s security leaders must shift toward proactive threat intelligence, anticipating and neutralising risks before they evolve into serious breaches.

Imagine your organization’s cybersecurity as a garden. Achieving maturity isn’t a final milestone ‒ it’s about cultivating a thriving ecosystem. It’s when you’re not just reacting to weeds (ahem, threats), but proactively tending to the health of your infrastructure. It’s not about chasing alerts ‒ it’s about growing with confidence because you know your roots are strong, your systems are resilient, and your people are engaged.

It’s hard to assume that most Jira admins are careless. They’re often overwhelmed. Jira isn’t just a project tracker. It’s not rare when, after some time, it becomes a labyrinth of configuration panels, permission schemes, and hidden behaviors that Atlassian sometimes changes – without notice. It’s no surprise that Jira in such a shape is also an easier target for potential attackers.

Just because you’re using a passkey doesn’t mean your password is gone. Microsoft is going passwordless in a new big push. As part of that new initiative, they are strongly pushing FIDO passkeys. I am a big fan of FIDO passkeys and FIDO in general. FIDO authentication offerings, including passkeys, are phishing-resistant, which makes them a HUGE improvement over passwords and most other multi-factor authentication products.

RSAC 2025 revealed that AI agents are reshaping trust and identity. Learn what top CISOs are doing about it and how the conversation about NHI governance is evolving.

It’s all over the news: GenAI will fuel a rise in scams and fraud. That’s a big claim, so let’s unpack what it means through the lens of one threat vector in particular: phishing.

Email Threats Continue to Hit Businesses Where It Hurts Most The cyber threat landscape in 2024 saw a continued rise in email-based attacks, with businesses facing increasingly sophisticated forms of business email compromise (BEC) and fund transfer fraud (FTF). These threats aren’t just technical — they hit organizations financially, emotionally, and operationally.
